Abstract
An internet protocol session is established over a switched network. A path message is forwarded to a destination bridging device that bridges the switched network and an internet protocol network. The destination bridging device has a switched network address and an internet protocol network address and directs the path message to an originating host device over the internet protocol network. A setup message is received from the destination bridging device. The setup message is received over the switched network by the destination bridging device from an originating bridging device that bridges the switched network and the internet protocol network, in response to the originating bridging device receiving the path message on behalf of the originating host device. The internet protocol session is established over the switched network between at least the destination bridging device and the originating bridging device based on forwarding the path message and receiving the setup message.
